John Terry
insists he could care less about the criticism, after he arranged his own
substitution in the match against Sunderland.
Terry was
brought off in the match, in the 26th minute, the same number on his shirt and
has been criticised by rival fans and pundits for arranging his substitution.
However, the
veteran defender does not care about the criticism and only cares about the
Chelsea supporters.
“I could not
care less, I promise you,” Terry told reporters.
“All I care
about is celebrating with my Chelsea fans. Me and them have a wonderful rapport
and have done for 22 years. Nothing that people write or say can ever get in
the way of that.
“If that is
the way I want to go out, that is the way I go out because I have been here 22
years, I have won so many trophies, so if I wanted to play one minute and come
off, I would have done.
“I wanted to
play 26 minutes because the shirt number means a lot to me and the supporters
so, as long as they are happy – and I was over the moon with the reception – I
promise you I could not care less.”
Terry added:
“It was an unbelievable send-off from the supporters to help me to celebrate 22
years at the club. I am very grateful to them, and it was something I will
never forget. It was so emotional after the game, I was in bits.”
